At twelve o'clock in the evening, Lu Shanmin came to the abandoned factory in Daliang Industrial Park alone as scheduled.

When Lu Shanmin arrived, the middle-aged man had already arrived. Today he put on a black mask to cover the terrifying scar.

"You are on time".

Just as Lu Shanmin was about to speak, the other party's eyes suddenly changed, he had seven stars on his feet, and his body was like a dragon, roaring towards him.

He subconsciously took a step back, and the punch missed his face by half an inch. The wind from the punch blew through his hair.

Lu Shanmin raised his foot and was kicking. The man's right foot quickly stepped on Lu Shanmin's knee, blocking the kick he was about to kick. Then he stepped out with his right foot in a circle, and instantly came to Lu Shanmin's left side.

Lu Shanmin suddenly turned around and punched the opponent on the cheek.

The man ducked his head to avoid it.

Since he suffered from the Sanda rules twice before, Lu Shanmin learned his lesson this time, this is not in the ring.

The moment the opponent's head dropped, he hit the opponent's head with a knee.

This time, the opponent lowered his head downwards and pushed his knees upwards. There was no way the opponent could avoid it.

But every second, Lu Shanmin was shocked again.

The opponent didn't hide at all, and quickly pressed down Lu Shanmin's knees with one hand.

But Lu Shanmin's knees did not stop moving forward, and continued to run towards his face against the opponent's palm.

I thought the opponent would be unable to avoid it this time.

But the moment his knee hit the door, the man's other hand quickly slapped the outside of his knee. The opponent's head tilted down due to the rebound force, and he barely avoided the knee collision.

Lu Shanmin was horrified beyond measure. He knew best how powerful he was. In such a vigorous and fast fight, it was simply incredible that the opponent could accurately seize this time point.

The most critical thing is the first palm, which is called a push to be precise, because when the palm first touches the knee, it does not use much force. Between the pull and the push, the force and speed of the knee impact are greatly weakened.

As a result, the next palm can successfully bounce out.

This move is very similar to the unloading force in Tai Chi, and it is also mixed with the borrowing force similar to Tai Chi, but it is very different.

All this happened so fast, less than a second.

What surprised Lu Shanmin even more was that under this rebounding force, the opponent did not know how, and reached the right side of his body in an instant.

Lu Shanmin was shocked, and punched with his backhand, and the opponent punched forward. Again, at the moment when the fists came into contact, the opponent quickly retreated with the force of his punch. Lu Shanmin felt like he was knocked down on a ball of cotton again.

The man's fist pulled his fist like a magnet. At the moment when the punch was exhausted and there was no time to withdraw the fist, a majestic internal energy was transmitted along with the opponent's fist.

The old strength has been lost, but the new strength has not been born. The people of Lushan secretly cried out that they would suffer.

With a "click" sound, Lu Shanmin's left arm was instantly dislocated.

At this time, the middle-aged man had already moved behind Lu Shanmin. There were two bangs on his back, and he was knocked back four or five steps by the man's punches. His back was in burning pain.

The man's hoarse voice sounded from behind, "Outside boxing focuses on strength and physique, while inside boxing focuses on strength and speed."

Lu Shanmin turned around and grabbed his drooping left arm with his right hand. The pain caused sweat to form on his forehead.

The man slowly walked towards Lu Shanmin, grabbed Lu Shanmin's left hand, clicked it, and reattached the joint.

"Every movement of Waijiaquan is designed to maximize the power of the muscles. The boxing techniques and footwork are often simple and crude, and the emphasis is on pre-emptive strikes."

"Every movement of Neijiaquan runs according to the meridians of the body. Only with quick eyes and quick hands can we find the best time to strike in high-speed fighting. Boxing techniques and footwork are changeable, and we pay attention to striking afterward."

Lu Shanmin carefully recalled the punch just now. The opponent had seized the opportunity. At the critical moment, the old power had just gone and the new power had not yet been regenerated. As a result, he was unable to fight back.

The man slowly took a few steps and punched slowly alone.

Lu Shanmin looked at his footwork carefully, and the more he looked at it, the more familiar it became. The left and right directions implied the laws of Tai Chi, and the straight forward and backward movements were the movements of the Big Dipper.

His boxing technique seems to be slow, but the moment he strikes, he is quick and fierce, alternately slow and slow, which has a taste of Tai Chi. But if you look closely, it is not Tai Chi.

The boxing techniques are ever-changing, combining the virtual and the real, as still as a virgin and as moving as a stripped rabbit, it looks more like an elegant yet powerful dance.

It is said to be boxing, but it also contains a lot of palm techniques.

The boxing and footwork work together seamlessly, each move seems to have been carefully designed, layered on top of each other, for both offense and defense.

His footwork became faster and faster, and his boxing skills became faster and faster, until finally, he saw a vague figure in a trance.

Lu Shanmin finally remembered why he felt so familiar, because the man's footwork was so similar to the old magic stick's Tai Chi. The difference was that Tai Chi was much simpler, and this set of footwork was more like the basis of Tai Chi's footwork.

It evolved from above, but the changes are much more complicated.

After a round of boxing, the middle-aged man was calm and relaxed, showing no signs of breathing.

Lu Shanmin couldn't help but be secretly surprised. It was unbelievable that such an intense physical output could still keep his face from blushing and his heart not beating.

The man seemed to understand Lu Shanmin's thoughts.

"With superior internal martial arts, every punch and every step taken coincides with the natural laws of the universe and the direction of the meridians of the human body. The internal energy will flow more smoothly and the internal energy will be more effective."

"The so-called inner qi is a person's essence. Everyone has essence in their body when they are born. The difference is that the essence of ordinary people is just enough for the needs of body functions. If the essence is insufficient, you will get sick. As you age,

If it is too big, the essence will be lost, and the person will age, until the essence is completely lost, the person will die."

"People who practice Neijiaquan practice extra energy and then store the energy. With the nourishment of the essence, people's internal organs are less likely to age. Therefore, people who practice Neijiaquan have a long life.

The founder Zhang Sanfeng lived to be 218 years old. There are also many seniors of the Neijiaquan in later generations who lived to be 120 or 30 years old."

"So as long as the boxing technique follows the laws of heaven and the meridians of the human body, under the nourishment of the inner Qi, the breath will naturally become long and will not get tired easily."

"The biggest shortcoming of internal boxing is that it violates the laws of human body structure and mechanics, which results in the inability of the muscles to effectively explode, and the body is not as strong as the practitioners of external boxing."

Lu Shanmin has the feeling that "listening to your words is worth ten years of reading", and he has a deeper understanding of internal martial arts. However, compared with other internal martial arts, he has a very embarrassing place.

Other people's inner Qi is gathered in the Dantian and can be used at any time; but his inner Qi, due to Lao Huang's dumpling therapy, forcefully forced the trained inner Qi into his limbs.

This is very speechless. In a real battle, the opponent will not wait for him to mobilize his inner energy to his Dantian before taking action.

The middle-aged man's internal boxing skills are very fancy and beautiful, but once he meets the enemy temporarily, without the support of internal energy, this boxing method is not conducive to the release of explosive muscle power. If he meets a master, even if he hits the opponent, it will be almost like scratching an itch.

, without any lethality.

The most terrible thing is that the internal energy that I have cultivated now seems to have identified the limbs and bones as its home. Even if it is practiced, it only stays in the Dantian for a short time, and then quietly flows into the limbs and bones.

Among the corpses.

This is the case in ordinary times, not to mention in a battle, in a fierce confrontation, the inner energy returns to the limbs and bones faster, which means that if the battle cannot be over in a while, this boxing technique cannot be used anymore.

Lu Shanmin frowned, "I'm different from others."

The man said in a hoarse voice: "Theoretically, the human body is composed of essence and Qi, so every acupuncture point and even cell in the body can store internal Qi."

"Have you ever seen an internal boxing practitioner like me?"

The man shook his head and said, "What I just said is only theoretical. Since ancient times, starting from Patriarch Zhang Sanfeng, internal energy has been stored in the Dantian. I have never heard of a situation like yours."

“Then wouldn’t it be useless for me to practice this boxing technique?”

"You won't know until later whether it's useless or not. What you have to do now is to learn this set of boxing and footwork, even if it's just memorizing it by rote."

"Can I ask you a question"?

"You want to ask me why I want to teach you".

Lu Shanmin nodded.

The middle-aged man said calmly: "You are extremely talented and have developed internal energy at a young age. I accidentally saw you in the crowd and thought you were a talent, so I wanted to pass on this top internal martial arts to you."

.

Lu Shanmin frowned, "Don't you think this reason is terrible?"

The middle-aged man chuckled and seemed to have expected Lu Shanmin's reaction, "It's up to you whether you believe it or not. Practice the moves and footwork I just played."

Lu Shanmin was stunned for a moment, "You moved so fast just now, I, the beauty lover, didn't have time to see many details clearly."

The middle-aged man said calmly, "Do you know why external boxing is easy to achieve quickly, but internal boxing is very slow?"

Lu Shanmin thought for a while, "Because Waijiaquan relies on the training of muscle strength. Muscle strength can produce results in a short period of time. The boxing techniques are strong, simple and easy to learn. It is already difficult for practitioners of Neijiaquan to develop internal Qi."

It’s even more difficult, let alone achieving enough awareness and energy, and the inner boxing techniques are much more complicated.”

The middle-aged man laughed, and his laughter felt like his trachea was being blocked.

"What you said is only the superficial reason. The core problem lies in the word 'enlightenment'. Especially after Neijiaquan enters the Yi Mui realm, people with understanding will suddenly realize it, while some people will be stuck in the early stage of the Yi Mui realm until they die.

There’s no way to break through.”

After finishing speaking, he continued: "The boxing techniques I just used are the same. It's the same set of boxing techniques, and I've practiced them to perfection. Different people's effects will be very different. The key lies in the word "enlightenment."

Lu Shanmin nodded thoughtfully. Xiao Nizi's letter said that a true master of internal martial arts has just started to practice internal energy. He must achieve the unity of mind and energy. That is to say, wherever the mind goes, the inner energy

It will be there soon. You must also achieve the combination of Qi and force, which means that wherever the inner Qi goes, the inner strength will arrive immediately.

This kind of control over the inner energy and the freedom to send and receive it cannot be obtained by just practicing boxing, it must be gained through perception.

It took half an hour to first draw out the inner energy from the limbs and bones according to the method taught by the old magic stick, and then to release the inner energy and practice according to the footwork and boxing techniques of the man just now.

Some of the middle-aged men played very slowly at the beginning, but they could barely manage to hit them all.

Going to the back, I couldn’t even see many of the actions clearly at the time, let alone write them down.

Just stop and stop, thinking as you go, but you can only perform a small part of the previous moves.

The middle-aged man stood aside and said nothing, letting Lu Shanmin perform the moves intermittently and full of loopholes.

After repeated beatings several times, all the internal energy in the abdomen returned to the limbs and bones.

"It's almost done, come back tomorrow." The middle-aged man's voice was hoarse, and it was hard to tell whether he was satisfied or dissatisfied.

Anyway, Lu Shanmin himself was very dissatisfied.

After saying that, he turned around and walked into the darkness.

After exhaling a breath, Lu Shanmin shouted loudly.

"Hey, you should tell me who you are, right?"

The man stopped and said, "Don't ask me who I am, and don't mention to outsiders that I teach you martial arts."

The man's words were neither hasty nor slow, but his voice was full of majesty.
